    Its because these youngsters are willing to vote for Corbyn. THat, and nothing else.

    He is shifting the political debate

    1.x%? Jesus H Christ! When I bought my first house I was paying 15%! Something like that. A lot, anyway. £800 a month it was. In 1989. That's equivalent to £1,400 today, according to tinternet. You could pay a lot of mortgage with £1,400 a month at 1%.

    The irony that his effect has precipitated a tax cut is pretty funny, though.

    If I was going to retire to Africa, Zambia would be at the top of my list, I think. Maybe second, after TZ.

    In fact, r, my retirement list currently looks like this:

    1. Cumbria
    2. Cornwall (Too crowded)
    3. Southern France (Too many euros required)
    4. Thailand (Can't go until the wife's 50)
    5. Cambodia (Too gangstery for the missus' taste)
    6. Tanzania (Too much chance of instability)
    7. Zambia (No sea)

    As you can see, this is a most pleasing list. Which is your favourite?
